Raiders sign WR Brandon LaFell, waive WR Johnny Holton

The churning of the Raiders’ roster continues for Jon Gruden as the team prepares to take on the Los Angeles Rams in one week. Today, the Raiders have signed veteran receiver Brandon LaFell, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Sources: The #Raiders are signing former #Bengals WR Brandon LaFell to a 1-year deal with upside. There was a need after Martavis Bryant was released.

LaFell is an experienced receiver who has played for three teams in his NFL career with his most recent team being the Cincinnati Bengals. While he’s not an explosive or dynamic receiver, LaFell is one of the better blocking receivers in the NFL. Expect him to be the team’s third outside receiver and occasionally contribute in obvious run-situations as a blocker.
